Pilot's license

[The Heff]

As you say that you're a teacher, that presumably means that you get long summer holidays. So you've got then got the time to commit to a full-time flying course over August. Should be decent weather for it too.

If you can commit full-time for a few weeks that will mean you can do the course cheaper as you can shop around for a residential course (I recommend Sandtoft but I'm biased ), plus ask ithe clubs if you can bulk-buy hours in advance at a cheaper rate.

Good luck!
